A judge sentenced a St. Cloud man who pledged loyalty to the antigovernment group Boogaloo Bois to two years in prison for illegally possessing devices that turn semi-automatic rifles into automatic weapons.
Michael Paul Dahlager, 27, was sentenced in federal court Tuesday in Minneapolis after pleading guilty in July to unlawful possession of a machine gun.
Dahlager was a self-described member of the Boogaloo Bois, the loose-knit organization that espouses antigovernment — and especially anti-police — sentiment and is dedicated to exploiting chaos and starting the next American civil war, according to federal authorities.
